i was told by my friend that ls400 calipers/rotors are direct swap for my gs400? is that true, for both front and rear? i have brembo rotors but stock calipers and frankly my brakes kinda suck, so if i buy ls400 brakes and etc should it work? thank-uz

Direct swap - sort of. Bolts up but you need a spacer to make it work. Do a search and you will find all the info you need on how to make the fronts work even without spacer.

yes, spacers or you could just get supra tt.

UZ214

you need to have 17"+ rims that clear supra calipers.

yes, if you have the lexus 17" wheels, then you would need a 5mm wheel spacer.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

who told u that??? 'cause i want to know

I have had the SUPRA TT calipers with 2 piece DBA rotors for the last 6 years
and i tell u this.... if u are using the stock 17's U NEED 15MM spacers
Im using H&R 15mm spacers with longer studs

even then, the calipers were clearing my rim by 1mm or so

As for the LS400 Calipers, I personally don't know, but i heard that u need special brackets etc... So I SAY just do SUPRA TT + 15mm spacers

but thanks for clarifying my mistake, would not want false info being passed around.

i also forgot, if you have the supra tt rims to go with the brakes, then you dont need ANY spacer. HAHA! lol.

LOL

let's not leave out the LS 95 and up wheels, G35, ect... ok too many to mention, i think UZ214 gets the idea

UZ214

i have aftermarket wheels, 19" volk GT-V staggered setup i am pretty sure they will clear , so i am going to go ahead and order supra TTcalipers rotors for front and rear for my gs400

ok, not so fast. only fronts fit, rear need to be modded to fit. search, there are plenty of threads on this topic.

TonY_G

naw bro, lol

i just hate if some one else went through what i went through back in 01..
back then i don't think no1 had the setup or was very rare, long story short, i put the brakes everything good, last sec, "oh, the brakes don't clear"
had 2 call up RMM and wait for them 2 order it etc, 1 week downtime on a hoist etc etc... not a good experience i tell ya..

ok cool, just venting from a mistake in 01. J/K
well, hope UZ214 did not order rears yet like he planned or he will be upset when he finds out the caliper don't fit

TonY_G

I wouldn't call it a mistake, i would say lack of knowledge about the setup since at the time no1 knew anything..

and speaking of lack of knowledge, there's plenty of that on this forum and idiots giving it
